The Gospel of Joan (Crawford) at TheSpace @ Venue 45

Five would-be somebodies find themselves united in Hell, part of a trial run to solve Hell’s overpopulation problem. Faced with a poker match with the devil’s right-turned dealer – the one and only Joan Crawford – these women must vie against each other for a spot in Heaven, all while contending sins, histories, sexual identity, and their own dispensability... because in this game, winning is more than eternity – it is fame.

The Gospel of Joan (Crawford) is a comedic queer retelling of what the afterlife might be and a whimsical tale on the meanings of fame, legacy, and what it means to live (or die) in a seemingly inescapable system.
